Mission & History

Sweet Beet City Farm is an urban farm located in the heart of Downtown Durham. Sweet Beet occupies 1.3 acres on Mangum Street between Hunt and Broadway that has, until recently, stood vacant. We envision a vibrant urban farm that can provide nutritious fruits and vegetables for its surrounding neighbors, a place where folks can gather to learn from each other, and create new life for these formerly vacant lots.

Services & Products

We sell sustainably grown, pesticide free fruits and vegetables. We will sell honey in 2014 and have a limited supply of free range eggs. We sell at our Farmstand on Mangum Street and online, through our website.
